Let's solve this step-by-step.
---
Part 1: Add "ly" to make an adverb
We add the suffix
"-ly" to most adjectives to form adverbs. These adverbs describe
how,
when,
where, or
to what extent something is done.
####
Change these words into adverbs by adding "ly":
| Word | Adverb |
|--------|------------|
| loud | loudly |
| shy | shyly |
| cold | coldly |
| sad | sadly |
| near | nearly |
| exact | exactly |
| quick | quickly |
| calm | calmly |
| weak | weakly |
| quiet | quietly |
| kind | kindly |
| bright | brightly |
>
✔ Note: Some words may have irregular forms (e.g., *near* → *nearly*, not *nealy*), but in this context, we follow standard rules.

Part 2: Write sentences using these adverbs
Now, use each adverb in a meaningful sentence:
1.
calmly
→ The teacher spoke
calmly to soothe the upset students.
2.
slowly
→ The turtle walked
slowly across the garden.
3.
kindly
→ The old man
kindly offered his seat to the pregnant woman.
4.
quickly
→ She ran
quickly to catch the bus.
5.
loudly
→ The children laughed
loudly during the party.

Part 3: Fill in the missing adverbs
Use the adverbs from the box on the right:
narrowly, kindly, evenly, exactly, weekly
1. She tries hard in her
weekly spelling test.
→ "Weekly" describes how often she takes the test.
2. The car
narrowly missed the dog as it raced across the road.
→ "Narrowly" means by a small margin — almost hit it.
3. There are
exactly one hundred pieces in the puzzle.
→ "Exactly" means precisely, without any more or less.
4. The old lady spoke
kindly to the little girl.
→ "Kindly" describes the tone of her voice.
5. We shared the lollies
evenly amongst us.
→ "Evenly" means equally, fairly distributed.
